I've read many good comparisons between Android's framework location API and the Google Play Services Location API. However, is there any benefit in using (exclusively to obtain location) the Google Play Services Awareness API over the Google Play Services Location API?
Getting location with the Google Play Services Location API vs getting it with the Awareness API

It really depends on your exact use case & requirements.
If you just need to know the location or want to receive locations updates regularly, go with the
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.If you have more complex, contextual requirements, for example you need to know when a user starts walking, or when a user enters an area, or something else that is based on the context of the user, you want to use the Awareness API.
To answer your question
No, none at all. The Awareness API was not created exclusively with the purpose of obtaining locations.
LocationServices.FusedLocationApiwas however, so use that.
